3rd Party Contracts
A third-party organization may sponsor a student’s enrollment by committing to paying a student's mandatory tuition and registration fees. Most organizations will grant the sponsorships through an application process. Once the student recipients are identified, the organization will send the funds to the school along with award processing instructions.
If the organization requires that they be invoiced directly before issuing payment, the student may request that the campus accept a Third Party Contract. The Bursar Office coordinates Third Party Contracts. The Bursar’s Office does not assist students with identifying a sponsor. For more information, contact bursar@nunez.edu

A 3rd Party Contract may be granted if the sponsoring agency:
